Trolley Inn
Image
The Trolley Inn, diner, overnight cabins, and gas pumps, located on state highways 53 & 63, one mile south of Spooner. The juxtaposition of the former trolley car and the parked cars is an ironic representation of the way in which automobiles brought about the end of street railroads for urban transportation.
1941
